Getting rid of the White around a GIF

[Dalex]

I have tried on my own for hours, and searched the forum also, I just cant figure out how to make the .GIF to display without the white box around the Wizard.......

Here is the empty shell of my script.

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)  ; Change to OnEvent mode


GUICreate("Test", 450, 490)  ; will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered
GUISetBkColor (0x5CACEE);sets the background color of the window
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "CLOSEClicked")
GUISetState (@SW_SHOW)       ; will display the dialog box


Func CLOSEClicked()
 
SoundPlay (@WindowsDir & "\Media\Windows XP Print complete.wav",1) ;plays a sound and waits until it has finshed before it exits.
 Exit
EndFunc


SoundPlay(@WindowsDir &  "\Media\chimes.wav") ;plays a sound when opening the window

GUICreate("Just a snip of the code", 450, 490)  ; will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered
GUISetBkColor (0x5CACEE);sets the background color of the window
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "CLOSEClicked")
GUISetState (@SW_SHOW)       ; will display the dialog box

;Labels button usage
GUICtrlCreateLabel("USE WHEN CONFIGURING ADMINISTRATOR.", 10, 20)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1,0xd3d3d3) ; Colors the label :Gray

GUICtrlCreateLabel("USE WHEN CONFIGURING USER AND ADMINISTRATOR", 10, 200)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1,0xd3d3d3) ; Colors the label :Gray


GUICtrlCreatePic(@Systemdir & "\oobe\images\merlin.gif",360,10,0,0)

GUISetState()

 


While 1
 Sleep(1000)  ; Mainline will just idle around until an event happens.
WEnd
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()

Could you upload the image for us to see, perhaps it is something with the image that makes it like that.

The image is a system file , should be on any machine running XP

see the line in the code "GUICtrlCreatePic(@Systemdir & "\oobe\images\merlin.gif",360,10,0,0)"

Look here

http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/f...rlCreatePic.htm

And look at example 2

[Dalex]

I looked at all of those examples before posting but just wasn't sure I was in the right place.

as a matter of fact that same help file is where I got the gif in the first place, I just could not get it to work

Thanks guys for replying, I finaly got it right in my script.

Here is a post of the code, I use this to configure multiple computers at a time, I burn the script to discs along with a file that contains all of the scripts that are on the menu. put an Autorun.inf on there and a label and warning icon (so it reminds us to remove the disk before shipping) can be used on desktops and laptops.

The problem is your space in the program. I tried with

open=test.exe

Works like a charm

open=test test test.exe

Doesnt work, I even tryed with "" but no luck.. generally you should have spaces in you exe names (bad programming style)

I think you posted this reply while I was editing my post I thought it might be that so I tried it and it worked, so I removed that section from the post. I just looked and saw that you had replied.

Thank you for your help

For anyone who reads this post in the future: I had posted in my last post that I could not get the Autorun.inf to work without pointing it directly at the exe like this open=d:\Winconfig 7 disk.exe

Shevilie replied that it was the spacing and was exactly right.

open=Winconfig7disk.exe works perfectly!

Thank you again Shevilie
